@wolf

can Mystica be an older sister figure to Miracle?

[wolfrunner]

Since they were all raised by Sky? Miracle would be looking at her as another older sibling juat like the others.

Okay everyone I need some help with a serious matter here. I've been doing some research and found something on Dissociative Amnesia saying memory often returns suddenly and completely when it does. What I need help with is making the decision of weather to have Sky's memories return in the begining of the rp and have her act like she doesn't know/remember anything for awhile OR the straight up have her memories come back later in the rp. Opinions?

[Casperphobia]

Wait, so she doesn't remember working for Ingen or the carnivore pack?
Also, I personally would write a list of pros and cons to each one. Which one would have a better impact on the story? I like the idea of her some how getting caught up in the Dorian vs Caspian thing and she and Cas see each other again and that sparks her memory? Or like they fight and that brings her memories back? idk. I'm just really looking forward to them meeting again. xD
Overall, I think her getting her memory back by a trigger would be best, whether that be earlier or later in the story. Does she know the pack has been turned into humans?

[wolfrunner]

Nope. Nada. Her brain locked everything up as a coping mechanism, though it all still influences her actions in the form of what she calls her instincts. Kind of like if someone gets mugged in an alley and dosn't recalll the mugging but have a fear of dark, narrow places. Hence the automatic draw towards Ashley and Tempest despite not being a very social person, being hyper aware of her surroundings all the time and the need to upstage Tempest to prove she is perfectly able to handle herself(prove she is Alpha Female when Tempest challenged her in other words).
And they would come back with a trigger, which I think should involve Cas in some way. Weather it's him alone or him and Veridian together even. It's just when is the question. And considering she thinks they're all dead and blames herself for it? I would say she has no clue.

@Wolfrunner
Alright. It's ultimately up to you as to what the trigger would be for when Skylar would have her memories return to her. I think i brought it up once before, but I have been thinking that at some point after Wu is killed Mills ends up taking Veridian from the island in hopes of protecting her from Cas. This would cause mayhem among the pack I am sure, especially since the hybrids are almost powerless to leave the island to try to get her back from Lockwood estate. (This also doesn't have to happen, its just something I've been toying around with)
But since its super distressing, it might be perfect for a trigger for her memories to return. If of course it's a route you want things to go. Either that or it could be an attempt at taking Veridian from the island which would also be interesting.

[wolfrunner]

Yeah I definetly see her relationship with Eli being negative, but more so in a concerned mother sort of way then just hating him. Also just had an image of her poping up behind him out of nowhere smiling sweetly and saying "Hi. You have something of mine and I'd like it back pretty please." But i think it would be fun to move from the island to Lockwood Manor and this would be a good way to do it.

[Casperphobia]

I agree with everything. So, later. Since it will be a while for us to get to that part. Also, you said that Eli would be scared that Cas would hurt Veridian. I think the perfect reason for him thinking so is after they kidnap Eli and Veridian is constantly keeping Cas from hurting him, Cas approaches her about her loyalty. He takes it as she is challenging him and he thinks she will betray the pack or something? And we all know how Cas would feel about that. So he threatens to take her down if she continues. Of course, it’s an empty threat because he couldn’t actually bring himself to majorly hurt anyone in his pack, let alone kill them. (This includes Sky. Even though he would be incredibly angry, I feel like he would subconsciously keep himself from actually killing her. Especially once he comes down from his high of rage.) Needless to say, Eli wouldn’t know this about Cas, seeing him only as a killing machine. Thoughts?

@pitch1225
Yea, you basically got at what I was thinking.
It might be interesting if while Eli is their prisoner Veridian and Cas end up in a small physical fight? Just surface wounds, but enough to raise his concerns (and a potentially cute moment between the two of them). Leading to killing Doctor Wu being the last straw. Eli then needing to take Veridian from the island to ensure her safety.
If of course that made sense.
